I intend to use the quad headlight setup on my 1981 . 
Now these are known to be "not very bright" . 
And I'll be using the french/swiss yellow lenses wich will make thing even worse . 
So I was thinking of ways to improve this . 

The outer lights , the low beam  H4 's ue a dual filament bulb . 
In other cars the low/high beam is lit by switching power from one filmament to another . 
In the ur'q the high beam filament is simply not wired and the inner H1's ase used instead . 
So a way to improve the high beam would be to wire the H4 high beam in parallel with the H1 
and have all 4 lamps working . Offcourse that woud require a decent realy-ing and rewiring . 

Then I thought , yes I did a lot of thinking :) , why not replace the H1 's  and 
use  H4's instead  . That would , if properly wired , make a dual low beam and a dual high beam 
on both sides .   
 
Anyone ever tried this ? Thought's idea's ... fire away . 


Btw I'm also looking for a set of decent quad headligh trim's .
Don't minde if they look bad or if the chrome is gone . As long as they're intact its' ok .  
Anyone have one or two they'de care to sell or trade ,drop me a mail .
